Corn flour and Lemon Cake with Almond

First: Preparing

Pre-heat the oven to 325º F / 160º C / Gas 3 with rack in the middle.

Zest both lemons and juice only one lemon.

Sift together Aksoy corn flour, almond flour, Aksoy baking powder and salt and set aside.

In an electric mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the sugar with the lemon zest for 1 minute to release the flavour and oils of the lemon zest.

Add the butter and beat for another 8 minutes until light and fluffy.

Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the eggs, one at a time, beating 2 minutes between each addition.

Add the lemon juice of one of the lemons and beat to incorporate.

Fold in by hand, with a rubber spatula, the flour mixture, in three parts, mixing as little as possible.

Second: Baking

Grease a 9 inch / 22cm diameter pan. Line the bottom with grease proof paper and grease the paper with butter. Dust the bottom and sides with fine corn flour, tapping out any excess flour.

Pour the cake mixture in the pan and bake until cooked and golden brown. Use a toothpick or cake tester and insert in the centre of the cake - when it comes out clean, the cake should be done.

Bon appetit!

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 5 minutes on a cooling rack. Remove the pan and the greaseproof paper and cool completely on a cooling rack.

Serve dusted with Icing sugar.

Cornmeal vs. Corn Flour

While cornmeal and corn flour are both made from milled, dried corn, they differ in texture completely. Cornmeal feels gritty, while corn flour is fine and smooth. The degree of milling determines the texture of the flour: corn flour is finely ground, while cornmeal is coarsely ground.
